Since there is no corroborating evidence, and if we remove the classist, sexist, racist language (not saying you are), that's simply "Friend supports friend. That shouldn't be a surprise" right?

You mean multiple witnesses, multiple cases, and the circumstantial evidence of actively preventing any real investigation into the claims? Or maybe the whole lying under oath in a confirmation hearing for the Supreme Court? If (as politicians love to say) he had nothing to hide, and especially given the position he is being appointed to, he should have been eager to have an actual investigation, and he should have had full background checks. The fact that he doesn’t (and hasn’t) alone is reason enough to hold off the vote. There’s no rush - the last justice was delayed by more than a year so the only reason to rush this through now is to try to stack the Supreme Court with corrupt sycophants before an election they’re not sure they’ll win.

  I suppose we're drawing different conclusions? I myself can't draw a conclusion, and I'm not convinced by the witnesses that he is a rapist, compelled to believe sure, but not convinced by any means, so its difficult for me to agree that he is some bad person. How can anyone believe, and attempt to convince others about, that one accuser testifying that he was a member of gang of serial college rapists? The bar for that is going to be high...

    You ignored all of the parents points. You shouldn’t have to believe it, you shouldn’t have to trust a single witness, because this should have been thoroughly and completely investigated by the FBI on their own terms and time frame. There was no reason to rush or limit the investigation, other than political.
